Co-Author of The Great Barrington Declaration FIRED From Harvard For Speaking the Truth About Vaccine Mandates

In 2020, we were being told that some new disease was killing people in droves.

Early on, nobody was sure what to think.

But after a short time, many started to realize this whole thing was being overblown, and handled in possibly the worst conceivable way.

There was evidence to back this up, but every time someone spoke about it, they were no longer welcome to contribute to the conversation for some reason.

One such person who was not only censored but fired from their job at Harvard University was Dr. Martin Kulldorf, a biostatistician and epidemiologist, and co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration.

For those unfamiliar, the Great Barrington Declaration was a paper written by Dr. Kulldorff along with Dr. Sunetra Gupta, an epidemiologist with expertise in immunology and professor at Oxford University, and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, an epidemiologist and professor at Stanford University, that argued Covid lockdowns were unnecessary and harmful.

The Great Barrington Declaration made a case for a targeted approach to dealing with Covid by focusing on the elderly, who are far more vulnerable to the disease.

This assertion was not welcomed by the powers that be in favor of locking down the population.

Dr. Kulldorff recently wrote about his experience trying to get the truth out in an article in City Journal.

He begins:

I am no longer a professor of medicine at Harvard. The Harvard motto is Veritas, Latin for truth. But, as I discovered, truth can get you fired. This is my story—a story of a Harvard biostatistician and infectious-disease epidemiologist, clinging to the truth as the world lost its way during the Covid pandemic.

In part of his article, Dr. Kulldorff describes how Sweden fared much better than the US and other European countries as far as excess mortality rates.

He also explains how that truth was rejected by fellow Harvard professors and major media:

Sweden was the only major Western country that rejected school closures and other lockdowns in favor of concentrating on the elderly, and the final verdict is now in. Led by an intelligent social democrat prime minister (a welder), Sweden had the lowest excess mortality among major European countries during the pandemic, and less than half that of the United States. Sweden’s Covid deaths were below average, and it avoided collateral mortality caused by lockdowns.

Yet on July 29, 2020, the Harvard-edited New England Journal of Medicine published an article by two Harvard professors on whether primary schools should reopen, without even mentioning Sweden. It was like ignoring the placebo control group when evaluating a new pharmaceutical drug. That’s not the path to truth.

That spring, I supported the Swedish approach in op-eds published in my native Sweden, but despite being a Harvard professor, I was unable to publish my thoughts in American media. My attempts to disseminate the Swedish school report on Twitter (now X) put me on the platform’s Trends Blacklist. In August 2020, my op-ed on school closures and Sweden was finally published by CNN—but not the one you’re thinking of. I wrote it in Spanish, and CNN–Español ran it. CNN–English was not interested.

Dr. Kulldorff opposed vaccine mandates, and that is something that was a big no-no for some time.

It’s also what got him fired from Harvard:

For scientific, ethical, public health, and medical reasons, I objected both publicly and privately to the Covid vaccine mandates. I already had superior infection-acquired immunity; and it was risky to vaccinate me without proper efficacy and safety studies on patients with my type of immune deficiency. This stance got me fired by Mass General Brigham—and consequently fired from my Harvard faculty position.

The entire article is worth a read here.

Those who followed Dr. Kulldorff after the Great Barrington Declaration was authored gave him encouraging words and thanked him for his valuable contributions to society after he posted his story on X.

Best wishes to Dr. Martin Kulldorff.

Harvard doesn’t deserve a person with integrity like him in their midst.
